Rookies introductory press conference

and refuse to give that rag money for digital subscription. As former long-time home delivery subscriber to the Bee no way I am going to give them $150/yr. or whatever it is to be able to read online their stinking junk.

Yeesh, Ailene going straight at Harry Giles about the gruesome details of his knee surgery. Keeping it classy as usual!
She actually asked if the ligament came from his hip or from a cadaver. :eek: Debbie Downer! That was a day of celebration for these kids realizing their dreams and she wants to go into the weeds about surgical minutiae! She's a piece of work!

That said, if I was Harry Giles I would want to know the answer to that question. If I conceded to have dead man flesh grafted onto my bone I would want to be aware of it. :)

Damn... LOL... This thread is too crazy..

Put me in that room with a press pass I'll ask way better questions, wouldn't even be close. That's all I'ma say.
James Ham asks good questions. I think Leo from Cowbell Kingdom is pretty good for a young kid. There's one dude who stumbles over his words and asks most convoluted rambling Qs. Ailene likes to go down random rabbit holes. Sean Cunningham is good but too nice. The best question are short and sweet and to the point. I would ask De'Aaron Fox:
  • Do you play to win ROY? Or are you just focused team success without setting individual goals?
  • You only weigh 170 pounds at 6'4" is that correct? How much muscle do you want to add? What is your ideal playing weight?
  • How many three pointers do you shoot per day?
  • How do you define leadership? What makes a good leader in your opinion?

That press conference sucked. Local media came totally unprepared.
Vlade is not exactly a skilled master of ceremony. He's uncomfortable in role of making introductions and pleasantries. But you know what? Who cares ! He's not being paid to be the life of the party. I watched the Laker press conference with Magic and this smarmy former agent Rob Polinka. This guy is a salemany slick guy with platitudes about Lonzo Ball. The guy is a good kid but it still came off fake. I prefer no nonsense instead of pretense and dog and pony show.

That may be difficult. She works for free, and the Bee can't afford real journalists.
What a saint, we should memorialize her in a statue outside the arena - puke

didn't realize she works for free, thanks for the insight. Should have known though, i mean who in their right mind would pay her for her work.

The fact that you actually bought the sarcasm should tell you all you need to know about this "reporter/journalist" or whatever name you call her...

Leo Beas has ruined cowbell kingdom. Terrible

With regard to Harry Giles reaction to the question, it was priceless. Although, I'm not sure I buy that he doesn't know whether a cadaver ligament was used or whether it was harvested from his own body, but I certainly understand him not wanting to divulge the info. Still, not at all appropriate to get into those details at the introductory PC. One of many reasons why she's referred to a "Poison".
Wait, what? She REALLY asked that question?!?
